General Council

The Edinburgh 2010 General Council was established as an international body and met for the first time in September 2006. It has met twice since, once in 2008 and again in April 2009. The General Council represents all the main parts of the worldwide Church family. At the end of the Edinburgh 2010 project the General Council produced an Evaluation.
